All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.

I became good at defending myself, but as far as I was concerned, that was a transient skill.

If somebody's pointing a trembling finger at your pants and saying you shouldn't be doing that, follow that finger back, go up the arm and look at the head that's behind it, because there's almost always something fairly woolly in there.

It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.

I will always admit immediately to what’s obvious, which is that homo sapiens is inherently erotic or sensual from birth.

Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.
